perennials, and will show how to plant 

 and care lor the stock, to the end that 

 increasing interest may be taken in 

 "making America more beautiful and 

 fruitful." 



The closing address of the convention 

 was made by J. H. Dayton, of Paines- 

 ville, O., on the subject, "Prospects of 

 the Nursery Business in the Future." 

 Mr. Dayton's closing words might be 

 oonsidered as the keynote of the conven- 

 tion: "Wealth may not come to you 

 through the sale of horticultural prod- 

 ucts, but you may attain a reasonable 

 income. Far greater than this, however, 

 is the satisfaction that will come from 

 the knowledge that you are adding to 

 the beauty of the country and to the 

 physical and moral welfare of the people 

 by producing and distributing nursery 

 products and in your relations with the 

 people acting strictly on the square." 



Among the nurserymen present were 

 F. L. Atkins, Eutherford, N. J.; J. P. 

 Rice, Geneva, N. Y. ; Charles J. Maloy, 

 Rochester, N. Y.; E. S. Welch, Shenan- 

 doah, la.; Paul C. Lindley, Pomona,

LEGISLATION FOR NURSERYMEN. 



Effect of Quarantine 37. 



Quarantine 37 has been in operation 

 for too short a time for one to say with 

 any degree of finality that it has or has 

 not been a benefit to the nursery busi- 

 ness of the United States. Plant pro- 

 duction of many articles, denied us un- 

 der this quarantine require from three 

 to ten years before being ready for mar- 

 ket. So it is too soon to tell what the 

 result of the quarantine order will be in 

 the case of articles like this, except to 

 forecast tliat it is scarcely likely we can 

 produce them as cheaply in this country. 



Then, the two years during which the 

 quarantine has been operative have not 

 been normal years; the influences of the 

 war have upset all calculations during 

 this period. 



Probably no legislation ever touched 

 the business of every single nurseryman 

 as this measure did; all of us have al- 

 tered our accustomed ways to a greater 

 or less extent, as a result of the order. 

 Just to have been jarred out of our usual 

 ]ilacidity is a result of the federal regu- 

 lation that was ])robably worth while, 

 yet one would prefer to learn resource- 

 fulness without the necessity of such a 

 nervous shock. 



Amendments Desirable. 



It does soem as if there are some 

 ninciidniciits to the quarantine order 

 that could lie made now, in view of the 

 cxjierience thus far gained. 



There are many new and valuable 

 jilants ill Knrope that we should have in 

 the T'nitcd States. I have seen them 

 jiersfiiially within the last year and 

 wanted to biiv some of those kinds that
